Starting an Ebook Business Online in only three Simple Steps

By Gary Busby

Everybody knows that if you wanna generate income there are a few "simple" things that you should do. I'm going to give you the steps you need to start your own online home business. Whether your a student (like me), a stay at home parent, teen, or anyone else who just want to make money from home.

First, you'll need a product that will sell and on the internet "Information is Everything". From money making ebooks and recipe books to dog training manuals, Everybody can write an ebook on something they have either done before or don't mind researching. If you can't write, don't worry there are ebooks that you can purchase the resell rights to and sell just like your own.

Ebooks serve two main purposes; the foremost and most obvious is income. Most ebooks merchants have little or no overhead; Once you write it or purchase the master resell rights it's yours to sell again and again and keep all the profits. That's why the majority of the people who really make money online sell some form of information.

The second purpose of ebooks is generating targeted prospects to your website. "Branding" puts your site links inside of ebooks that you sell so that you can have your ebooks pulling in orders and traffic twenty-four hours a day.

Second,you need a web presence. Whether it's a website, newsletter, blog, or RSS feed it is essential that you have a medium to connect to your potential clients. It's better to have more than one ex:(website & newsletter) this allows you to follow-up with people who might not purchase the first time around; Also to connect with people who might prefer a choice. A good web site and hosting package with a domain name should cost less than ten dollars per month.

To be considered to be the professional you are, a domain name (www.yourname.com) is vital. Those "free" websites aren't really free when you begin to count all the missed customers. Not to mention the banner ad or text link that they embed into your page, driving them a lot of free traffic.

An important, but often unused component of new online marketers is tracking your visitors. When setting up your new website it's important to add a tracking service of some kind. This is so once your new site begins to take off, you know exactly where your visitors are coming from.

You want to do this so you will know which ads are working and which are not. Track all the way to the order page, this is so you know not only visitors but also orders. You can find free tracking services online, even some with with invisible counters.

And for my final step, you need the word out about your new site. There are a few little known secrets that I personally use to drive targeted visitors to my sites. One, submit your internet site to search engines and directories. This takes some time to obtain a large amounts of hits, but once they start there highly targeted based off the key phrases that you choose. Search engine optimization or SEO prepares your site to rank high in the various search engines results, giving you more visitors.

Second, is article submissions. Like I said earlier, online information is everything and this holds true for advertising. A well-written article can be picked up and re-published many, many times for free. How does this effect you? At the bottom of every article you write there is whats known as a resource or bio box containing the author's info and websites.It's illegal to get rid of this box, therefore you get totally free advertising on potentially thousands of sites by people wanting to use your article in there ezine, newsletter, website, etc.

This is also a great seo tool also since search engines count and rank sites by how many other sites link to them. Also if your worried that you can't write articles either, you can find plenty of them totally free with rights to edit them and make your own. There called private label rights or plr articles. Be sure to rewrite them because search engines like google can tell unique content and will not index you.
